Tuffpak makes a very tough gun case, which also masquerades as something else - many people will assume it contains golf clubs. Its design is simple and flexible, and allows an almost endless variety of combinations of guns and gear. Besides allowing you to take your soft cases with you without eating up space in your other bags, this lockable case has integral handles and built-in wheels which make it easy to roll around in airports.
Sauer 375 H&H Select Grade with Outback Synthetic Stock.
This is my choice for Australian Big Game.
375 H&H is a popular choice for Buffalo. Winchester Supreme Safari in a 300 grain Nosler Partition shown here does the job extremely well.
300 & 375 Holland & Holland Magnum
I chose the .375 H&H Magnum on recommendation of my friend Tello, as one of the top dozen of the 20th century simply because few other cartridges do so many things so well. It is just powerful enough to handle game too nasty for smaller cartridges, yet it is not ridiculously overpowered for non-dangerous North American game such as elk and moose. I also chose it because the level of recoil it generates represents about the upper limit most hunters can tolerate. Even though the 375 H&H was introduced in 1912, the 300 H&H was introduced in 1925 along with the 270 most American hunters ignored it due to the high cost of imported rifles chambered for it. But that changed for the better in 1937 when Winchester added the chambering to its list of options for the Model 70 rifle. When loaded with good bullets and fired in an accurate rifle, this old English cartridge is capable of remarkable accuracy. It’s good too; I would not hesitate to hunt any big-game animal presently walking the face of the earth with the .375 H&H Magnum.
